ATOMIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 568,058, dated'September 22, 18961.

Application fried nach 6, 189e.

T0" all whom, it 11m/y cancel/'11,: Beitknown thatl, VICTOR C. VANT Woun,

.of Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Atomizers, of which the `following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like letters O11 the drawings representing like parts.

This invention has for its object to improve the construction of atomizers especially adapted to be used as nasal atolnizers, for` atomizing or spraying vaseline or other oily substances; and the invention consists in certain details of construction to be hereinafter set forth.

Figure l shows in side elevation and partial section an atomizer embodying my invention, and Fig'. 2 a cross-section of the nasal nozzle and detachable block contained therein having passages forming the atomizingorifices. l

The bottle d, of any usual shape and size, has placed upon its open neck a cap l?, which is'formed with a duct or passage through it for the liquid and with a duct or passage b2 for the air.

A'liquid-tube c, which projects down into the bottle d, is connected with the cap b at the interior thereof, being snugly tted into the liquid duct or passage l1', and a tube o projects laterally from the cap h, which is the cap, although, if desired, it may be made separately and attached to the cap,the passage through which is in open communication with the air duct or passage b2.

An air-forcing device A of any usual construction is connected `with the tube c.

Formed upon the upper end of the cap Z2 is an annular iiange f, adapted to receive and frictionally hold the nasal nozzle f".

Two short tubes d d are connected with the top of the cap b, projecting upwardly, as shown, one of which, as d, is fitted into and therefore in open communication with the liquid duct or passage b', and the other of which, as d3, is fitted into and therefore in open communication with the air duct or passage hi. These short tubes d d converge slightly toward each other and may removed for the purpose of cleansing.

A block e of hard rubber is formed with a easily be Serial No. 582,065. (No model.)

cut-away portion or recess c', and also with two passages or ducts 2 3, one of which, as 2, is for the air and the other, as 3, for the liquid, and the passage 2 terminates at the side of said recess and the passage 3 terminates at the bottom of said recess, and their relation to each other is therefore such as to constitute atomizing-orices. lThis block e is contained within the nasal nozzle, and is made of less cross-sectional area than the interior of said nozzle to provide a passage for the waste.

The lower ends of the passages 2 3 of the block e are bored out or formed to receive the upper ends of the short tubes d d, and hence said block is solely supported upon and held by said tubes. This block e may be easily removed when desired for cleansing. By making the block c in a single piece with the passages 2 3 arranged in the manner shown the atomizing-oriiices cannot get out of position or relation to each other.

I claiml. In an atomizer, the combination of a bottle, a cap thereon having a liquid-duct h' and an air-duct h2, and a tube projecting down into the bottle connected with said cap and in open communication with said liquid-duct h', and a tube projecting laterally from said cap in open communication with said air-duct h2, and an air-forcing device connected with said air-tube, a iiange formed at the top of the cap, and a nasal nozzle frictionally held thereby, and two short independent detachable tubes d, d snugly fitted into the upper ends of said ducts h', b2, and projecting upwardly into said nozzle, and the detachable block c placed upon and solely supported by. said short tubes d, d', said block e being of lesscross-sectional area than the interior of the nozzle, and having e it into vthe lower ends of which the upper ends of the tubes d, d are fitted, said passages being arranged with relation to each passages 2, 3, through other to constitute the atomizing-oriiices, substantially as described.

2. In a .nasal atomizer, the block e contained within a nasal nozzle, made of less cross-sectional area than the interior of said nozzle, and having the recess e and passages 2, 3, through it, one terminating at the side and the other at the bottom of said recess,

IOO

and constituting atoniizing-oi-iliccs, two short tubes CZ, d projecting upwardly fron] the cap upon which said block e is detachably placed and by which it is solely supported, substantially as described.

3. In an atoniizer, the combination of the cap b having liquid and air passages l2', b2, and a flange f, a nasal nozzle f itted to said flange and rictionally held by it, two short tubes cl, d', snugly fitted into the upper ends of said passages D', b2, and projecting upwardly into said nasal nozzle, the detachable block e placed upon and solely supported by said short tubes d, el, said block e being of less cross-sectional area than thc bore of the nozzle, and having passages 2, 3, through it, into the lower ends of which the upper ends of the tubes (Z, d are tted, said passages being arranged with relation to each other to constitute the atoinizing-ori lices, substantially as'
